The only good thing about this is that if Ron Paul wins Iowa, it will put an end forever to Iowa’s dominance of the process. He has NO chance of winning the nomination and everybody knows it.
This is not the way to come out of the starting block.
It matters not which state goes first if “Paul supporters” can run the race and win in the GOP primary as a “GOP conservative.”
He has a great chance of being a spoiler. If he gets 10-20 percent in each primary that's 10-20 percent some other small gov. guy isn't going to get.
